Lysurus cruciatus , also known as "finger mushroom " , is a type of mushroom from the family of stinkhorn relatives (Phallaceae) and belongs to the genus Lysurus .
features
From one to 4 cm Hexenei a porous, white to off-white developed receptaculum which is crowned 5-7 short arms. These are separated from the stem by a ring-shaped, weakly developed bar. The arms are cross wrinkled on the inside and a longitudinal furrow runs through them on the outside. Their color is described differently: it ranges from whitish and yellow-brownish to orange. Initially, the arms are joined together to form a conical point and spread apart after the brownish, foul-smelling gleba has drained away . As with Clathrus archeri (and other representatives of the stinkhorn-like ), the spores are spread by insects (especially carrion flies ) that eat the gleba.
distribution
Lysurus cruciatus was originally native to South America , South Africa and Australia . In addition, the species has also been found in the United States (especially California ), where it was likely introduced. Lysurus cruciatus was also most likely introduced in Western Asia and Europe ( England , the Netherlands , Portugal and Sweden ) . In Germany , Lysurus cruciatus has so far only been found in Ludwigslust , Leipzig-Paunsdorf , Luckau and in Schulzenhof near Gransee . In contrast to other Neomycetes , such as Clathrus archeri , the species has not yet been able to establish itself in Germany and has remained a rare exotic species.
